COMMENTS
Polydor Promotional White label with blue half-circle logo.
In Japan, promotional records have traditionally been provided at no charge to radio stations, record shops, and the mass media to increase the sales of a record or in some cases to promote a tour.

There are two types of promotional releases.
Type-1: This type is called the white label promo for which a unique label has been made. The label design of Polydor white label singles is very similar to that of regular commercial Odeon singles. The promo version, however, features the perimeter print, Odeon logo, and circled text in blue and all other printing in black.
The words "Sample" and "Not for sale" were printed in blue on the label.
Most usually, the regular cover is used with appropriate alterations to prohibit commercial sale.

Type-2: The second type of promo record is less elaborate and is called a sticker promo. It is simply a regular commercial release that has a promo sticker affixed to the cover.


Tony Sheridan vocal on A side, the Beatles playing with him as The Beat Brothers. The Beatles without Tony Sheridan on the B side doing typical early sixties rocking instrumental.
